C: Is for the click your heels 3 times




















Fall is around the corner and so is a girls worst agony....HEELS. If you don't have perfect arches and lets face it who does, you are caught in the age old dilemma of pain over a fabulous look because there is no getting around it heels make your legs look endless. The amazing Laura Rubin sent me a catalogue to die for. Elizabeth Brady's inspiration is the accomplished women from the 1920’s and 1930’s. The searing wit of Dorothy Parker, the courage of pioneering aviator Amelia Earhart, the chic sensuality of Josephine Baker, the silky sounds of songbird Ella Fitzgerald,



















all these elements and more formed the backdrop of Elizabeth’s design process. These shoes bring to mind Lauren Bacall, Joan Crawford and Betty Grable, burst of self-expression by a talented group of writers, poets, choreographers, dancers, actors and chanteuses. These silhouettes, while influenced by the 1920’s and 1930’s, are thoroughly modern. Lynette is Black pinstripe and flannel peep-toe with a burgundy velvet bow and a 4" black stacked heel. EEK and I thought 3" was high. Victoria is French lace with satin trim and again a 4" heel. Betsy is my favorite and is a Leopard print pony double peep toe with crimson accent 4” crimson stacked heel



















Brady sources her leather, soft nappas and suede, along with textural reptiles and sleek patents in Italy, which guarantees you’re getting high-quality kicks. Shoe making is in Brady's blood as her grandmother was also a shoe designer in the ’20s for Marshall Field’s and Saks. Elizabeth launched her Italian-made couture women's shoe collection in August 2005. Her collection can be found in a number of boutiques across the U.S. To be inspired to go to great heights for fashion log onto www.elizabethbradyshoes.com. I can tell you I have my eye on the Lynette's for dreaming of reaching a special someones lips under the mistletoe and that is a F.A.C.T.
